Anybody know if there are any mags that cater to the dual sportriders. Theyprint them for everything else, why not us too!!

 

I found this in my search.

http://www.dualsportnews.com/

 

Here's a snip from dualsportnews.com

I take this to mean they'll be covering the big adventure bikes. (R1200GS, KTM950 Adventure, V-Strom, etc.) Oh well [&o]

 

Dual Sport News covers smaller stuff too. It has articles on adventure riding in the US and abroad, tests on bikes from the XT 225 to the BMW R1200 GS Adventure and last month a test on the new for 08 KLR 650. It's a small magazine put out by Tobin Lampson from Ojai, California. How do I know all this? My wife and I write for them from time to time. If you get a subscription, ask for the past three back issues.
Also, check out www.rideok.com. Ride Oklahoma Magazine has quite a bit of Dual Sport activity. The next issue has a great story on Oklahoma's fall dual sport ride at Clayton this October. How do I know that? You guessed it...

Sorry, Icouldn't resistthe cue to plug our work...

you can access the australian magazine called 'trailzone' top mag probably not relevant to you guys in the US but is not just about rides...its about the latest and greatest gear, bikes, tech tips etc.Google it to see the website.

 

not totally related, but i was also looking for stuff to read, and found these two. neither one had any motocross/supercross. all off-road stuff. dust magazine from here in the states, and trailbike adventure magazine from australia. tbam was great, a lot of long distance ride stories, all the bikes appear to be plated. just found dust magazine an hour or two ago, so i'll get into it and report back later. i found both at barnes and noble bookstore. sometimes they're mixed in with the mountainbike mags, so i usually check the shelves.

 

Anybody subscribe to that mag? "Dual Sport News"?
I'd like to try it out, but want to know if it's got interesting content, or is it one of those "industry rags" that's chock full of advertisements for parts distributors etc?

 

Jason,
DSN is pretty cool. Some articles are better than others, of course, but they're all written by real people in all stages of riding skill. It's just folks telling about their experiences, wherever they may happen to ride. We've dones stories about our rides ranging from here in Norman, Oklahoma, along the Canadian River, to our Dual Sport ride in China this summer. It is a privately owend magazine, not related to any manufacturer.

Hope that helps,
Bill
